I believe the argument against it is that in case of oil leak, your
windshield will be coated with oil and you may have zero visibility?

I left my oil filler cap loose once and that really happens. Bad news.

Having landed twice with a canopy covered with oil (hope you have a
crosswind so you can look out one side while you crab to the runway), I
would not recommend louvers in the top.  I have a very closely fitted
spinner, but the oil manage to find its way out past the spinner and onto
the canopy.  The oil was from my problem with the Ross rear oil seal (now
fixed).  Now if you never have an oil leak...
